A Facebook page called "Shneta" published a video yesterday (January 5) showing footage of an accident between a car and a truck.
This video is captioned "Live accident, on a highway in Kosovo."
After verification of the facts conducted by hibrid.info, no facts were found that support the claim that the event occurred in Kosovo, while this video material has been circulating on the internet since December 23, 2023.

After researching through the automated program “InVID”, hibrid.info found the same video material published on social media in foreign languages (see here, here and here), which has been circulating on the internet since December 23. (see here)
None of the publications made by the social media account and page in foreign languages clarify in which country this event took place.
Also, the same has not been found and published by any online media in Kosovo.
Analyze:
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the Facebook page "Shneta" published on January 5 an old video footage of an accident between a car and a truck, falsely claiming that the same incident occurred in Kosovo.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses this claim as "Fake News".
Reasoning:
The "Fake News" rating is given to media reports that are entirely the product of a medium that itself contains factually incorrect claims or information.
Content that is considered fake news can be reliably determined to have been created and distributed with the intent to misinform the public, i.e., to present a claim that is completely false as fact.
